Hi, Suni.
It's been a long time since I've visited this site and thank Linda for asking me to respond to your question. I had my surgeries with Kaiser 2004 and 2005 at the Redwood City Neurology center with Dr. Nicole Moayeri. In fact, she's a fantastic surgeon, the incisions were clean and successful. While I had a hard time initially turning to Kaiser since Dr. Steinberg is greatly heralded for his successes, I firmly believe that Dr. Moayeri did amazingly. Please see her bio: http://www.permanente.net/homepage/kaiser/pages/c7159-top.html. She, again, was so amazing. One of my vessels, barely 3 mm wide, leaked during surgery and she successfully and skillfully sutured. I'm pretty good for it.
However, Kaiser's follow-up procedures were less helpful and assuring. I didn't receive much more than about a few weeks of follow-up care. Compared to Stanford's procedures Kaiser is less diligent particularly because it isn't a research clinic studying moyamoya. That was unfortunate. A few of the neurologists that I saw were compassionate but less knowledgeable as Dr. Maoyeri, as a neurosurgeon. There was a Dr. Rao but I don't think he's around.
I've changed providers recently since I returned to graduate school and am out of touch with Kaiser's doctors; I apologize for this.
Hope this helps. I'll be checking in occasionally; hope this helped.
Very best, Connie
